  • {PDF EPUB} Lady Blue Eyes My Life with Frank by Barbara Sinatra Frank Sinatra's Widow on Man Behind the Legend: 'Big Tipper
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Lady Blue Eyes My Life with Frank by Barbara Sinatra Frank Sinatra's Widow on Man Behind the Legend: 'Big Tipper. Romantic Husband'. Frank Sinatra's last wife, Barbara, discusses the couple's 22-year marriage. Frank Sinatra's Home Life Revealed in New Book. May 31, 2011— -- Frank Sinatra's last wife, Barbara Marx Sinatra, reveals details of the couple's 22-year marriage in her memoir, "Lady Blue Eyes." In the book, Barbara Marx Sinatra describes a homey side of the music legend -- a man who was extremely neat, a great cook, a voracious reader and a crossword puzzle ace. On their evenings out, she witnessed his state of the art tipping. "He'd walk into a restaurant with a stack of one hundred dollar bills," she recalls. "And say, 'Make sure to take care of all the busboys, not the waiters, the busboys. and everyone in the kitchen.'" Read an excerpt from "Lady Blue Eyes" below, then check out some other books in the "GMA" library. Prologue: A Very Good Year. The year I married Frank Sinatra was a very good year. It was 1976, but it had taken us five years of flirting and courting to finally say "I do." It probably took another year before I grew accustomed to the idea that I now carried his iconic name. At first, I'd almost whisper when booking a restaurant reservation or beauty parlor appointment. Even to say "Mrs. Sinatra" out loud felt like bragging. For a long time I had to pinch myself almost daily to believe that I, Barbara Ann Blakeley, the gangly kid in pigtails from the whistle-stop of Bosworth, Missouri, had somehow become the wife of Francis Albert Sinatra.
